The 2023 Q4 e-tron brings exceptional styling, an impressive interior and inventive bundle of safety technologies to deliver outstanding performance in an all-electric vehicle.
Audi's Intelligent Thermal Management optimizes heat flow distribution to the drive system, cabin and rechargeable battery. The preconditioning process and a proactive heat pump allows the e-tron convert energy from the surrounding air to prolong battery life and maintain heating inside the vehicle.
Under the Hood
Base trim offers a rear-wheel drive powered by a single motor that generates 201 hp and 229 Ib-ft of torque.
With the lithium-ion battery placed under the cabin floor, the EV has a low center of gravity feel that minimizes body rolls while navigating sharp corners. The 77.0 kWh battery pack delivers an estimated 175 miles in cold conditions.
The 2023 Q4 e-tron typically requires nine hours of charging from zero to 100 percent capacity on a Level 2 home charger. However, charging times may take longer in climates that drop below the regulated temperature of 15 degrees for high-voltage batteries.
Comfort and Convenience
Audi includes a 10.3-inch digital gauge display and an 11.6-inch touchscreen for easy accessibility to various menus and features in the EV.
A unique double-spoke-shaped steering wheel with soft-touch controls allows drivers to monitor the digital cluster underneath.
Q4 e-tron is the first Audi model with an augmented reality head-up display that provides drivers with real-time data in their line of sight. The information allows drivers to spot car complications facilitated by frigid weather conditions such as low tires and dead batteries.
Standard amenities include heated front seats and three-zone automatic climate control. Upgrades are offered for LED matrix headlights, four patterned daytime running lamps and a warmed steering wheel.
By using the myAudi app, owners can heat their engines, deice windshields, warm the cabin and schedule charging sessions without leaving the comfort of their beds.
Safety
Q4 e-tron received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ award with high scores in all six crashworthiness tests. The all-electric vehicle also earned "Superior" ratings in front crash prevention vehicle-to-vehicle tests and "advanced" scores in vehicle-to-pedestrian assessments.
